Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Requests

The Records Bureau accepts FOIA requests for Public Safety Department information in person, my mail, fax or online. Requests are processed within five business days, as allowed by law. Requests should contain as much specific information as possible regarding names, dates, times, locations, etc. FOIA fees are based on an hourly labor rate, search and copy fees, and per page fees.

Note: All Fire reports and Environmental Assessment reports must be submitted by FOIA request. EMS reports requested by anyone other than the patient must be by FOIA request, along with a signed medical authorization by individual treated (per HIPPA). Otherwise requester must be legal guardian or next of kin.
